define a variable using an if statement

[Margaridalopes]

I would like to define a variable using an if statement, for example:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

a=0 b=1   if a = 0:    c = b  else:    c = a

I know the above does not work, but is there a way of defining 'c' with an if statement or something similar?

Thank you

Please, use proper tags when post code, traceback, output, etc. This time I have added tags for you.
See BBcode help for more info.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

#this x = 2 #is no different than this if 4 > 3:     x = 2 #or this a = 3 if a % 2:     x = 2

You can define variables anywhere you want in Python. Your example didn't work because you don't know the difference between set equal to "=" and is equal to "=="

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

a=0 b=1   if a == 0:     c = b else:     c = a

Your code would work if you change the = to == in your if statements
